Throughout the course, we will remember our big ideas: What is poetry and how do we study it?
Makeup work if you missed a day (remember, you may only make up to three points/class!) For one makeup point, you must read THREE poems of your choice (see link to makeup poems on left). For EACH poem, write a SOAPStone analysis of poem, a paraphrased paragraph of the poem, AND a detailed paragraph about what the poem means to you.
In this six week class, we will:
- become familiar with American and World poets
- analyze, interpret, and discuss poetry with the SOAPStone method.
- effectively paraphrase poetry to increase understanding.
- create, write, and perform original poetry.
- evaluate how literary components (tone, symbolism, irony, metaphor, hyperbole, etc) impact meaning.
